I was actually looking forward to my weigh in yesterday; I felt like I had lost some weight. Well, I gained 0.2 pounds!! I gained! Now, it know it's not a lot, but I've been taking at least a 1 hour walk everyday except for Sunday! I've also been trying to eat better, more veggies and smaller portions of the "bad" stuff. I was kind of frustrated when that happened. Thankfully my supportive friend, told me not to give up! When I talked to her on the phone, she told me to keep it up! I think what my be deterring my weight loss is my lack of sleep. I haven't been getting enough sleep for the last few weeks. I'm probably averaging 5-6 hours a night. I need to be getting at least 7, hopefully 8. They say getting enough sleep helps with weight lose. Another friend reminded me that I'm probably gaining muscle. I just know that I need to keep working at it. I'm going to try and add some variety in my workouts by doing a walking DVD at least a couple of mornings a week, because it adds some muscle strengthening.
